Global music icon Beyoncé has earned the Recording Industry Association of America’s (RIAA) highest certification of any female artist in history.
This achievement follows the addition of fresh certificates to a number of her songs, bringing her total to 103 RIAA-certified titles.
The organisation posted on X (previously Twitter) to honour her accomplishment.
The post read;
“Crowning achievement! Congratulations to @Beyonce, who now holds the record for the most certified titles for a female artist in RIAA history, including her first two Diamond singles!”
Beyoncé’s illustrious career boasts a range of impressive certifications.
Her hits ‘Halo’ and ‘Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)’ recently earned Diamond status.
Additionally, her albums “Renaissance” and “Lemonade” have achieved 2x Platinum and 4x Platinum certifications, respectively.
Meanwhile, her earlier works, “Sasha Fierce” and “Dangerously In Love,” have reached 7x Platinum status.
Recall that, Beyoncé opened up about the challenges of fame and her process for creating music.
In a GQ interview, the celebrity revealed that, despite her widespread success, stardom can occasionally feel like a prison.
Beyoncé, who is well-known for revolutionising the music business, revealed that she now produces music at her own speed.
“I work at my own pace, on projects that I hope will touch others. “I hope my work inspires people to look within themselves and embrace their own creativity, strength, and resilience,” she stated.
She emphasised that her priorities are storytelling, progress, and quality, rather than perfection.
The singer noted that, while working on projects like “Cowboy Carter” and other new ventures is liberating, the responsibilities of fame can often be overwhelming.
“Fame can sometimes feel like imprisonment. So, that’s why you don’t see me on red carpets or disappear until I have work to offer,” Beyoncé explained.
